How to build contextualized, evergreen OT asset inventories

A traditional OT asset inventory is basically useless. Someone must travel to each location, inspect the OT asset and manually enter it into a spreadsheet. It’s labor-intensive and time-consuming. By the time it’s completed, it’s already out of date. And it doesn’t have metadata.

“Metadata glues technical data to use cases. Without such metadata, or context, your asset inventory will be pretty much useless; at least it will not easily support workflow automation.”

Building a useful OT asset inventory requires a dedicated tool. Enter the OTbase OT asset management software. The OT Asset Inventory Handbook explains what is required to build an enterprise-wide OT asset inventory, what it can be used for, and what you can expect to gain from it. A contextualized OT asset inventory supports multiple use cases in OT cyber security, engineering and maintenance. This handbook is written for stakeholders in all three domains, as well as for top management.
